The title of this post doesn't reflect my own feelings towards Christmas: it's merely to indicate that I've managed to complete a card for this week's challenge as set by the eponymous site! The given theme was Holly, or alternatively, Fairies, but I don't do fairies so holly it is. Yet another of the patterns from Stitching Cards and I like the finished result much more than I expected from the pattern; it was very quick to stitch, too, and not too taxing for my cold-befuddled brain.
It's a pity the scan doesn't show the colours properly. All the threads have a glitter filament - the lettering and candle are red, the candlestick is copper, and the flame and aura are gold, as are the long straight stitches in the border. Still, the good thing is that the holly takes centre stage ;)
Fiona, I just love your stitched cards and this one is no different. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Fiona - whoever receives it will be a very lucky person.
